PRESS RELEASE
SUBJECT: OLP CONDEMNS UZODINMA’S DECEPTION OF PRESIDENT BUHARI TO COMMISSION NON-EXISTENT ROADS IN OWERRI.
– WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY FROM IMO STATE GOVERNMENT
Our attention has been drawn to stories in the media stating that today’s visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Imo State has yielded in the commissioning of the Nekede-Ihiagwa-Obinze Road.
It has also been reported that the said road was built by the Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
What is even more outrageous is that we have seen pictures of an old portion of the road which was washed, repainted, decorated and presented to Mr. President. And this was today commissioned.
While we thank the President for finding time to be in Imo to see things for himself, as the apex leadership body in the area with the purported road project, we feel deeply insulted by the entire charade and perfidy put together by Imo State Government. This act of commissioning a non-existent road has come to people as a clear mockery of the pains and agonies associated with the poor road infrastructure in our area.
This has further reinforced our fears that the incumbent administration in Imo is not concerned about our plight, and is heartbreaking. We, therefore, demand an immediate apology from Senator Uzodinma so as to remedy to situation, while also urging the Governor to be alive to his responsibility of providing infrastructure to Imo people.
Signed:
Ohamara Anthony Ph.d.
President-General.
